As an External Train Presentation Operative, you will play a vital role in maintaining a spotlessly clean Train Care Centre, to meet the requirements of our customers and other stakeholders. At Northern we always strive for excellence; if you would like to be part of team that make this happen, then this role may be for you.

Our Train Care Centre’s operate 7 days a week and day to day we expect you to carry out general maintenance to ensure we deliver a clean, presentable environment for everyone. Cleaning activities on a shift include, but are not limited to, maintaining the upkeep of the facilities, keeping walkways tidy and clear, cutting grass or trees back and undertaking any other work on the depot as required. It could also mean you could provide support to our Train Cleaning teams on depot to deliver exceptional service for our customers.

We are looking for reliable and hardworking individuals to fulfil this role. You must be willing to work outside, as well as on board our trains, throughout the year. You also need to be flexible enough to deal with ever-changing demands. You don’t necessarily need experience, as we will teach you everything you need to know.

If you fancy doing your thing as an External Train Cleaner, your greatest strengths will be working in a team to get a job completed together, following instructions and attention to detail to successfully maintain high standards. We like you to have pride in your work and always strive to be the best you can.

So, if your lifestyle enables you to work flexible shifts in line with our customer expectations over an average of 35 hours per week this could be the job for you.
